Property owners in Iron County received their 2012 property tax bill. Most property taxes increased while the assessed value of your property dramatically decreased. The increase in part is the spending at the county level.

Iron County commissioners in 2008 approved the largest property tax increase on unincorporated properties in Iron County history totaling $2.3 million dollars. This was intended to indiscriminately target unincorporated properties but has impacted all municipalities of Iron County.
